Toscotec Ships Largest Steel Yankee Dryers
Said to be the largest diameter steel Yankee dryers yet built, the TT SYD-22FT is at the heart of Toscotec PRODERGY tissue machine, which is equipped with a steam hood to achieve a maximum operating speed of 2,000 m/min.
This extraordinary achievement is the result of Toscotec’s investment strategy, aimed to enhance its strength in the tissue and paper industry with the opening of a new technology center dedicated to the complete production cycle of TT SYDs.
From metalworking and precision mechanical
processing to thermal treatment in a 10 m x 10 m oven, all the tests and certifications are made on site, according to Functional European (PED), American (ASME), Chinese (CSEI) and Japanese (JIS) regulations. The new center also houses technical
and production offices, as well as a conference room and a customer lounge.
The facility is located in Massa, 50 km from Lucca, a location chosen for easy and fast access to seaport overseas shipments.
